Perfect Fire Weather

Gee it's cold! Perfect weather for a fire. If I had my way I think I would have both of our fireplaces lit 24/7. Remember my old French chair covered in the vibrant stripe which you can see in the picture above? Well, I think it might be time to recover it. I'm imagining something simple like a ticking. I bet you think I'm mad but I want to tone it down in our lounge room. Maybe I'll just put it in another room and cover another chair. Not sure yet. Obviously I've had too much spare time on my hands today with the public holiday! I'll let you know what I decide.

Anna, I was just thinking the same thing, Gee it's cold, except I am in England and it's supposed to be the middle of summer. I saw your photo and thought what a lovely warm room, the chair fabric really brings it to life - but then sometimes you just need a change! SGHx

We have our fires going all day and night at the moment! Too cold not too and so nice to sit on front of! Also, i have just ordered navy blue ticking for my own chairs in the sitting room to be recovered! xx

Here in Iowa, USA we are having a perfect summer day. Love your blog sharings. I read you with google reader most times but want you to know how much I enjoy your life and style. So different than mine but so very lovely!!

I love the vibrant striped chair Anna (and your artwork above the fire). I do understand though the desire for change. That's when I swap all of my furniture around before making a bold decision. I just did a post on your gorgeous wallpaper range for Porter's. Huge fan. www.notthebigthings.blogspot.com

I established this blog in 2006 so that I could record my inspirations, my thoughts and my work as an Interior Designer. Based in Brisbane, Australia, my store Black & Spiro is always filled with a unique collection of interesting things which we scour the globe to find. I am most passionate about my family, my career, tradition, collecting, flowers, fabric, gardening, colour and quality and I will always strive to be creative and extraordinary in everything I do. I hope I can inspire you to live a bright and colourful life surrounded by the things you love.
